No plays Tuesday
Matt Harvey. You might disagree and it's debatable, but name someone who is on his game as well as Harvey is. Here's the stat that tells me how dominating he is: 29 IPs, 10 hits. In the majors that's not easy to do. You have some hot hitters, some bad bounces, some slow fielders, and well there's 3-4 hits right there. Anyways, Harvey's demeanor and mechanics have changed so much so this year that scouts have been impressed. He does not ever seem to be rattled or look as if he's in trouble with men on base, although there are few men that have been on base. In his last start, vs. Strasburg, there media and fans were out en force, but Harvey clearly looked the veteran even though he had the slimmest of leads. The Dodgers have hit only .237 vs. RHP but .287 vs. LHP. They have exactly one HR in the past week, and the Mets bullpen is much improved. Ted Lily is coming off of 2 poor rehab starts at AAA. His arm strength may not be there, and he may be pitching here because of his $12 million salary, and Chris Capuano's injury. With Billingsley's season ending injury, there is a pall over the Dodgers right now, and Harvey's pitching won't cheer them up. The Mets are 9-9, but a little better at home and right now are 2nd in the NL in OPS vs. LHP. They have a decent lineup and lifetime these Met hitters are .310 vs. Lily- and that was the "good" Lily.
Mets -1 (-106) 4 units.
